I agree that shaking hands outside a business context can seem too formal, while not everyone is into kissing. Thanks for this comment. Hugs to you! Carla,

I don't initiate, but I wont hold back if offered. Hand shakes outside of a business situation or being introduced for the first time is a bit cold to me. Hugs are a good middle ground Welcome back!

They are so affectionate, those dogs - sometimes in the wrong way and in the wrong places! Your point is so true - touching with the hands become unnecessary when we can touch at a different, deeper level. Like with you, I've never shaken your hand but feel that our souls have hugged! @ Jannie, You made me try to see a handshake as an alien might do - I guess it does look pretty weird. Trust you to see that! Oh those dogs - they'll sniff anything, and lick and eat it too if you let them! @ Henie,
